<p class="level0">Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It should point to the file name of your file holding cookie data to read. The cookie data can be in either the old Netscape / Mozilla cookie data format or just regular HTTP-style headers dumped to a file. 
<p class="level0">It also enables the cookie engine, making libcurl parse and send cookies on subsequent requests with this handle. 
<p class="level0">Given an empty or non-existing file or by passing the empty string ("") to this option, you can enable the cookie engine without reading any initial cookies. 
<p class="level0">This option only <span Class="bold">reads</span> cookies. To make libcurl write cookies to file, see <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR.html">CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR</a>. 
<p class="level0">If you use this option multiple times, you just add more files to read. Subsequent files will add more cookies. <a name="DEFAULT"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DEFAULT</h2>
